Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed UG1 opencast project will include the opencast mining of the chromite layer on the remaining extent of Portion 82 of the farm Waterval 306 JQ. There is approximately 1 million tons of the UG1 chromite layer that can potentially be mined using opencast mining methods. The project will take place in three phases: The proposed schedule for the respective phases are as follows: • Construction Phase = ~Two months • Operational Phase = ~3 years • Decommissioning and Closure Phase = ~6 – 12 months The proposed opencast activities will include the development of a boxcut and opencast areas on either side of the boxcut (total area of ~12ha). Drill and blast and free digging mining methods will be utilised. Overburden material will be stockpiled adjacent to the pit in two stockpiles. Ore will be transported via a dedicated haul road of approximately 1 km long to the existing Waterval West Plant for processing. The UG1 opencast project will require the following new surface infrastructure: • Access road and internal roads • Haul road • New substation and 11kV overhead powerline • Offices and change houses • Parking area • Laydown area • Topsoil stockpile • Overburden stockpile • Run of Mine/Muck stockpile • Pollution control dam • Pollution water trench
